            Bug ID: 60552
           Summary: RFE: Explicitly define linker segment option to
                    override distro default
           Product: Wine
           Version: 11.20
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: loader
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
  Target Milestone: ---
      Distribution: ---

Wine has relied on default linker behavior. Starting with Fedora 45 and
binutils 2.47 the default linker option "--rosegment" is now set for all binary
linking. The previous default linker option was "--no-rosegments" and other
distros may or may not follow Fedora. The reasoning behind the option switch is
to improve security of the resulting binary layout.

May Wine explicitly define "--no-rosegments" to preserve the expected binary
output? This should be a no-op for all distros except Fedora 45+ that now
override the defaults.

I have opened a binutils bug to discuss the change, too.
